Wood or Metal?

[1inStripes]

You just proved how much softball I have been playing. I said TPS instead of TPX. I also played at the same time. Graduated in 99 as well.

I had Black Magic. That is the first HS bat I ever bought. Hated it too.

I never liked the copperheads, the TPX airattack was nice and had the traditional pop.
I used TPX all 4 years of h.s. and my first year in college had to use an Easton and HATED it. Felt like it didnt have the pop that TPX had imho.

yeah I know ALOT of people who dont like the DeMarini but I just felt like it gave me more pop because it just seemed like I had alot more batspeed with it. Granted everything you hit with it sounds the exact same, doesnt really give you a traditional pop, but like I said it feels like the barrel is bending when you swing it. Or maybe it was jus because I was alittle more patient on waiting for the ball to get in the zone before attacking.

If you want to get a wood bat, I would recommend the x-bat if you can afford it.
If the majors ever went to an alumnium bat there would be ppl die flat out. And the homerun record would be forever tarnished unless they expended the playing dimensions of the field. I mean can you imagine Bonds swining an Alumnium bat? He'd be hittin 600 feet.
